“I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior,” she said. “Actually, this is not a new position for me. I have felt for a long time we need to legalize it, so that’s where I am on that.”
As San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris oversaw over 1,900 convictions for cannabis violations, the San Jose Mercury News reported in 2019. Still, only a small number of those people ended up in prison.
Harris “put over fifteen hundred people in jail for marijuana violations”
As attorney general, Kamala Harris would not have personally prosecuted drug cases. Local district attorneys would generally prosecute such cases so to say Harris “put … people in jail” as state attorney general is not accurate.
Talk is cheap. As attorney general she also held the power to decide not to prosecute those people.
If she did anything to prevent this, why wouldn’t she just come out and say it? Not saying anything at all about it other than that she’s proud of it is the most damning evidence we can have.
Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”
It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔
[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.
So it isn’t working and is just more tax dollars wasted on the security theater? Cool.
oh, it’s working

Trust me bro it aint raycist… Check these stats 🤡
Gotta get that probable cause to search for weed.
Recreational weed has been legal in NY for years
Not if there is a federal agent. It is legal here in NM but the feds are constantly seizing pot because it is not legal at a federal level.
It’s gonna be fun when it’s legal in all 50 states at the state level, but still illegal federally.
Wait, did I say fun? I meant bullshit. It’s going to be bullshit.
Trump DGAF and Kamala made a career outta jailing weed smokers so it’s not likely to change anytime soon.

That is up to the state’s attorney general whether to go after drug offense or not
I guess tell that to the federal agents seizing legal cannabis.
I don’t think federal agents are using these scanners to find people carrying weed
Since when does law plays a role in harassment?

When u be that bottom…
Sorry, just replace weed with crack.
They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.

They found a scam to replace stop & frisk.
To be fair, he’s also a former cop. He’s also under indictment for fraud so take that for what it’s worth
TSA… security theater for the low, low price to taxpayer of $11.2 BILLION dollars
No, no. We just need to keep using it! It just needs a bigger sample. Surely, we’ll find a weapon, eventually!
/s
It’s the TSA for the subway!
I dunno, does the scanner grope you and steal stuff from your baggage?
If your dildo looks remotely like a gun, it might come after you.
Well now I feel a fool because I bought a gun-shaped dildo so it would draw less attention. I thought this was America!
Happiness is a warm gun?
Temperature is an important aspect of mouth feel.
Well I don’t want it to come before me!
Not exactly, no. From other comments, it also have an incredibly high false positive rate, so it’s negative security.
more tax dollars stolen
All personal income taxation is theft.
